Since 1996, Patrick Yancey has represented many people who have been injured or killed as a result of someone else’s fault. He has handled injury cases related to working offshore in the oil and gas industry, 18 wheeler crashes, car crashes, airplane/helicopter crashes, drilling rigs, tugboats, supply boats, jackup boats, diving vessels, derrick barges, pipe laying barges, industrial/refinery explosions and other industrial casualties, defective products, including defective medication and exposure to chemicals in the work environment, including asbestosis (which causes mesothelioma, a deadly form of cancer). In almost every case, the injury (or death) was preventable if the defendant party in the case would have followed the safety rules that existed to protect our client, which in almost every case could be you or me. The victims of rule violations are random; they could be anyone, anywhere, anytime.
